94 escort 1.9L just put a new fuel pump and fuel pump relay. it was running fine and quit running now the fuel pump will randomly not get any power or kick on. thats when it doesnt start then out of the blue turn the key the fuel pump kicks on and it will start up and run help plz out of ideas

Have you checked for power to the pump from the fuel pump relay.After the key has been off for 10 seconds,turn it on and there should be a short 2 or 3 second pulse of power from the relay and you should also hear a click there.If there is no power pulse,is there power to the relay?Remember the relay only primes the fuel system and the oil pressure switch keeps power to the pump when it sees oil pressure.Is there power at all times to the oil pressure switch?On these vans the wire from front to the pump can go bad,quite a few have had a new wire run for the pump over the years.A great van.

check the earth wire on the pump see if its grounding to ground or not.

fuel pump inside gas tank is defective.

I would make sure that the fuel pump is getting power. If so I would return the pump. Sounds like it's a bad one.

Could be a fuel pump relay.

There are fuses for the fuel pump and should be located under the hood.You should not run the pump out of the fuel tank the fuel keeps the pump cool and it only takes about 15 seconds to destroy a new pump when running it out of the tank.Chances are you might have ruined the pump by running it out of the tank.

Try your inertia switch in the cargo area in back. Its located on the passenger side rear wheel well. Push the button.

I put a new fuel pump, fuel filter, and a fuel pump relay and the fuel pump is still not coming on. I am not getting any fuel. Can you please tell me what it might be.

Change the fuel pump relay.

sounds like you have a bridge in the wrong place on the top of the fuse board where the relays are .top left side has two small bridges and you might have put three in ,the bottom one should,nt have one
